* The Real Story Of Thanksgiving*
*Do yourself and society a favor-- read this to your kids.*
THANKSGIVING DAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE special days of the year, and not
because of the great food. The real virtues of this unique American
celebration lie in the lessons in humility and maturity offered by its
history.
The virtuous lessons to which I refer are offered only by Thanksgiving's
true history, however. That true history is the exact opposite of the
bogus, "Thank God (sorry... politically incorrect... make that, "Thank
Fortuitous Random Chance") we were saved from starvation by the generosity
of our neighbors-- see how wonderful socialism can be!" nonsense which too
many Americans have been misled into imagining to be the truth.
In fact, the feast we commemorate on the fourth Thursday of November had
nothing whatsoever to do with "generosity". What we actually commemorate on
Thanksgiving is the Plymouth Rock colonists' recognition of the evils of
socialism and the goodness of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" of
profit-motivation unleashed by security in property rights.
It was that 11th-hour epiphany after a disastrous experiment with
communitarian soulfulness that saved the colony from starvation. Thanks be
to God, indeed, for that merciful and timely grant of wisdom.
IN VERY BRIEF SUMMARY, the Plymouth Rock colony began as a commune,
organized under the principle that the proceeds of every individual's
labors would be claimed of right by the community as a whole, and then
redistributed in equal measure to every member. This system lasted for
several years, during which the colony grew ever more hungry and
impoverished.
Unable to keep the fruit of their labors for themselves, and with the
unproductive receiving the same out of the communal resources as those who
worked hard, soon no one worked hard. To do so was a fool's game.
The only competition un-smothered by the communitarian rule was the race to
the bottom in the avoidance of labor. Every year the crops were thinner;
every year the shares distributed to each colonist were more meager.
Finally, in 1623 and on the verge of the colony's failure (that is, the
death of all the colonists), the feel-good socialist lunacy was recognized
as the deadly mental virus that it is. The ruinous pretense that the
community had a rightful claim on the food produced by each member was
abandoned, and the colonist's rights to their own production was secured.
As it was recounted (in third-person format) in 1623 by William Bradford,
Governor of the Colony:
...so they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could,
and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus
languish in misery.
At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advice of
the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set corn every man for
his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other
things to go on in the general way as before. And so assigned to every
family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for
that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and
ranged all boys and youth under some family.
This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as
much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the
Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and
gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and
took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege
weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought
great tyranny and oppression.
Thus, the deadly madness of socialism was replaced with a pragmatic
expression of two natural laws: 1. no person (and no group of persons,
acting under whatever title or label or pretense it may) can rightfully
dictate the disposal of the product of another's labor; and 2. no society
can violate a natural law without suffering the harmful consequences. It
was only then that the colony had its first bountiful harvest, for which
the members properly gave thanks.

* The Real Story Behind RSV & The So-Called "Tripledemic"*
*MSM sources are now warning of a co-pandemics of flu, RSV and Covid…but is
there any reason to be afraid? *
by Kit Knightly (with an important afterword by Yours Truly)
The “tripledemic” is upon us, according to the mainstream media. What is a
“tripledemic”, you ask?
Apparently, it’s when we have simultaneous pandemics of influenza, Covid
and RSV at the same time. At least, according to the LA Times
<https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-04/tripledemic-of-flu-rsv-and-covid-is-feared-in-california>
:
*"A 'Tripledemic' of flu, RSV and COVID is feared in California*
And the Atlantic
<https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/11/covid-flu-season-twindemic-tripledemic-2022/672041/>
:
*"What a 'Tripledemic' Means for Your Body*
And CBS
<https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tripledemic-health-care-professionals-rsv-virus-hospitals-stockpile/>
:
*""Tripledemic" in U.S. could bring deluge of patients to hospitals*
All three stories – and there are many others
<https://www.today.com/health/tripledemic-winter-2022-states-hit-hardest-rcna55983>
out there too – hit the same handful of talking points.
They report that the flu is back after its “mysterious” disappearance
during the Covid “pandemic” (the Alantic notes US flu cases reduced by well
over 90% and calls it “getting lucky”, the doublethink is unbelievable).
They also warn that Covid is “still around” or “not over”, or some
variation on that them.
However, the main thrust of the fear is reserved for RSV. Now, you’re all
probably more than familiar with “flu”. And you’re definitely tired of
hearing about Covid. But RSV could be a new one for you…so let me explain.
THE VIRUS
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is – according to virus theory – one of
the many viruses circulating in the general population at all times. To
quote the Mayo Clinic’s website [emphasis added]:
*"Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections of the lungs and
respiratory tract. **It’s so common that most children have been infected
with the virus by age 2.** Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-ul) virus can
also infect adults. In adults and older, healthy children, * *RSV symptoms
are mild and typically mimic the common cold*.
And according to the CDC:
*"Almost all children will have had an RSV infection by their second
birthday […] Most RSV infections go away on their own in a week or two.*
So, according to official sources, RSV is not serious in the vast majority
of cases, and almost all of us have already had it.
In fact, seeing as the symptoms are both generic and mild, the odds are you
have had it multiple times throughout your life and never really known.
It’s simply one of the many viruses known to cause what we refer to as “the
common cold”.
